Jeff Dahn Research Group

I spent two 4 month terms with the Jeff Dahn Research Group - one funded by an NSERC DREAMS scholarship, and one for my first co-op term at Dalhousie. In the lab, I built a frequency response analyzer (FRA) which combined impedance measurement equipment with ordinary battery cyclers, testing cells automatically throughout the cycling process. The equipment gave researchers a method to test a variety of battery chemistries quickly and easily.

Data from my FRA system was published in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society.
